EFFECTS OF CIGARETTE SMOKE CONDENSATE ON PROLIFERATION AND WOUND CLOSURE OF BRONCHIAL EPITHELIAL CELLS IN VITRO: ROLE OF GLUTATHIONE

Effects of cigarette smoke condensate on proliferation and wound closure of bronchial epithelial cells in vitro: role of glutathione

Abstract Background Increased airway epithelial proliferation is frequently observed in smokers.To elucidate the molecular mechanisms leading to these epithelial changes, we studied the effect of cigarette smoke Handset Membrane Cable condensate (CSC) on cell proliferation, wound closure and mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) activation.We als

Lorenz-63 Model as a Metaphor for Transient Complexity in Climate

Body Armor Dynamical systems like the one described by the three-variable Lorenz-63 model may serve as metaphors for complex natural systems such as climate systems.When these systems are perturbed by external forcing factors, they tend to relax back to their equilibrium conditions after the forcing has shut off.Here we investigate the behavior of

Comparative anatomy of the mouse and human ankle joint using Micro-CT: Utility of a mouse model to study human ankle sprains

The use of mouse models as a tool to study ankle sprain requires a basic understanding of the similarities and differences between human and mouse ankle joint anatomy.However, few studies have been conducted that address the merits and drawbacks of these differences in the functioning of joints.Twenty hindfoot specimens were obtained from 10 male C
